Saquon Barkley will be an instant fantasy football stud

Saquon Barkley will undoubtedly be a hot commodity in fantasy drafts this summer. The New York Giants clearly expect him to take on a significant workload in his rookie year, investing the No. 2 overall pick on the Penn State prospect.

Through three seasons in the Big Ten, Barkley amassed 3,843 rushing yards, 1,195 receiving yards, and scored 51 touchdowns. He consistently made the most of his touches despite playing behind a struggling offensive line.

The 6-foot, 233-pound tailback used his speed, shiftiness, and power to find extra yards and hit home run plays.

The Giants are putting an emphasis on reestablishing their ground game under new head coach Pat Shurmur.
